Is the best place for the Celtic music...Im from Glasgow and have never been to Dublin. Most of the Irish pubs up here aren't even Irish pubs anymore. I want Celtic music stuff like Eire OG etc etc..

Me and a few mates are going down there soon and Im just wondering where's best to start off..

Cheers

I've heard that the Pub of the Dubliners is great, and that you should visit it when you are in Dublin, but never been there :(

but this year I'm going to visit Eire -_-

Thanks.

When I went to Portugal to see Celtic the number of Irish pubs id been to and it was a mix of Scots and Irish singing dancing drinking with good Irish music, Sorta like an atmosphere you won't see on a normal night out, Im just wondering if there are any places in Dublin that are like that. lol im probably asking a bit much..

Cheers

aye, I've informed me a bit, there is many a place in Dublin you have to visit :D

Observer, no idea about Baile Бtha Cliath, but I can show you some nice pubs in Moscow, St.Petersbourg, Kiev, Obninsk and Tula... And even in Warsaw - I was drinkin' there too :D

Midweek the Celt Bar in Talbot St. is worth checking out.

The Irish Brigade normally play some time at the weekend in Dublin, best to check the An Phoblacht website for listings.

Also the Sidewalk Bar in Cathal Brugha Street (just off O'Connell St) is usually worth checking.

Most city centre pubs cater for the tourist crowd which is heavily British and wouldn't appreciate Eire Og type music.

Yeah, I second The Celt. Always willing to give you a takeaway if you haven't had your fill by closing time!

Irish Brigade and Eire Og have played at Brazen Head awell as far as I remember, so check that out too.

No the Brazen head in Glasgow has these bands.

The Brazen Head in Dublin is a great pub but only have trad sessions in there to my knowledge.

???

You sure?

I'm sure I've seen posters up around Dublin advertising for the Brazen Head in Dublin...why would they advertise for a pub in Glasgow?!

Ah well, even so, check it out anyway.

Fianna mo chara,

I would happily stand corrected. If you hear they are there let me know and the first beers are on me. It's a cool boozer.

Slan

ps I'll be there for the SF Ard Fheis at end of the month !

Cheers lads/Lassies


Thanks, Im just looking for Good Rebel music - Im a Celt and love the Scottish/Irish you can't get any better people.

Oh may God shine on you, Bobby Sands
For the courage you have shown
May your glory and your fame be widely known
And Brave Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh
Who died unselfishly
And Patsy O'Hara, and the next in line is me
And those who lie behind me
May your courage be the same
And I pray to god our lifes was not in vain

though sad and bitter was the year of 1981
All is nota lost, and it's still going to be won

Aah the Sidewalk... how I miss that place! I saw my first Old Firm match there, followed by Shebeen. Come to think of it, my first live gig of Shebeen was on the night of All-Ireland Gaelic Football Championships in 2002, when Armagh beat Kerry. What a night it was, and what a gig.

I lived south of the Liffey so I used to frequent the "Hairy Lemon". Not for the music, but for the atmosphere. Very nice pub. Might have been on Drury Street. I remember there was a nightclub called "Break for the Border" nearby, the name of which always made me laugh on my way back home.

Bjorn! I have an idea for you - issue the "Celtic Lyrics Pub Guide" (15 euro a piece), based on this oppinions... Just think of it!

lol Damn Russians looking to make money after the fall of Communism... :P
